  • #163 | 1 Faith Trick to Calm Driving Anxiety & Get Back on the Road Again

    Hey friends, it's Ashanti here. If you've ever gripped the steering wheel a little too tight, avoided getting on the highway, or felt your chest tighten every time the rain starts coming down — this one's for you. I've been right where you are, and I'm not just talking about it from the outside looking in. I know what it feels like to let fear decide whether you leave the house or miss out on the life God placed you here to live.

    In this episode, I'm sharing one simple but powerful faith tool that helped me finally break free from driving anxiety — the kind of anxiety that kept me stuck for years after a car accident that should've ended very differently. We're not talking about coping strategies or breathing exercises here. We're talking about renewing your mind with the Word of God so that fear loses its grip on you for good.

    If you're ready to stop letting driving anxiety, travel anxiety, or fear of what might happen keep you parked at home — press play. I promise you'll walk away with something you can use the very next time you grab your keys.

    • #162 | 3 Steps to Help You Stop Health Anxiety For Good (And Stop Googling Every Symptom)

      Ever found yourself down a 2 a.m. Google rabbit hole, convinced that random ache means something terrifying? Yeah, I've been there more times than I care to admit.

      After I had my daughter, health anxiety hit me like a freight train. Every twinge, every stomach ache, every weird feeling sent me straight to the search bar, and spoiler: the internet never says "you're fine." It always says "go to the ER."

      In this episode, I'm sharing the one faith tool that completely shifted my mindset around health anxiety, plus three practical steps I use to stop feeding fear and start feeding my faith. (No doom-scrolling required.)

      If you're a mama who's tired of worrying about your health, your kids' health, or your family's well-being, this one's for you. Grab your coffee, pull up a chair, and let's talk about how to trade those "what ifs" for something a whole lot stronger.

      • #161 | Afraid of Dying? 3 Steps to Stop Fearing The Inevitable & Restore Your Peace

        Have you ever laid in bed at night, just staring at the ceiling, when suddenly this wave of fear hits you about death? That overwhelming, consuming anxiety about the unknown — what happens, when it happens, how it happens, will it hurt, will I be ready?

        I've been there. And I know I'm not the only one, because someone in my Facebook group recently asked about this exact struggle. If that was you, sister — I see you, and this episode is my answer to you.

        Today, I'm getting real about death anxiety — what triggers it, why it's so common (even my seven-year-old stepdaughter has asked me about it), and how we can replace that fear with unshakable peace. I'm sharing three truths and three practical tools straight from Scripture that completely shifted my perspective. We're talking salvation, the purpose of life, trusting God's timing, and how to stop ruining your life waiting for the inevitable (yes, I pulled a When Harry Met Sally reference for this one).

        If the fear of dying has been stealing your peace, press play. You don't have to live in fear anymore — and I believe by the end of this episode, you won't.

        Scriptures Referenced: John 14:6 · 1 Corinthians 15:54-58 · Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 · Hebrews 9:27 · Psalm 23 · Jeremiah 29:11

        • #160 | Sick of Those Untriggered Panic Attacks? Try These 3 Steps to Reset Your Mind & Calm Your Body

          Ever had a panic attack hit you out of nowhere — sitting on the couch, standing in a crowd, just trying to relax — and you can't figure out why? Girl, I've been there. Four to five a day, panicking about having panic attacks. It was exhausting.

          In this episode, I'm sharing why those untriggered panic attacks keep coming back (hint: it's not a faith problem — it's a programming problem), and I'm walking you through three simple steps to help you reset your mind, calm your body, and start breaking the cycle for good.


          Ready for your simple start? Let's dive in.

          • #159 | Faith After Disappointment: How to Keep Anxiety Away When Things Go Unplanned

            Have you ever prayed for something with everything in you, believed God heard you, and then... it just didn't happen? 

            For years, I struggled with chronic anxiety and panic attacks, and one of the hardest things was holding onto my faith when I felt disappointed by God. But in this episode, we're looking at someone in the Bible who experienced heartbreaking disappointment — someone a lot of us overlook or even judge.

            She's the woman we all point at and say, "I don't want to be like her." But what if I told you she's actually the one who can teach us the most about keeping our faith strong and the anxiety at bay when things go unplanned?

            I'm walking you through five powerful lessons from her story that will help you:

            • Move past disappointment without letting anxiety take over
            • Trust God's timing even when it feels like He's late
            • Ask Him for what you need — even when you're afraid of being let down
            • Build a foundation of faith that holds up when life doesn't go your way
            • If you've been feeling overlooked, overworked, and underwhelmed by the outcomes of your prayers, pull up a seat. Grab your coffee, your journal, and let's dive in together.

              • #158 | 3 Ways To Help Stop A Panic Attack Before It Starts (Good for Full-Time Working Moms!)

                Have you ever felt that familiar wave of panic start to rise — your heart racing, your chest tightening — and wished you knew how to stop a panic attack before it fully takes over? Friend, I've been there. I spent years suffering through multiple panic attacks a day, feeling completely alone, and thinking nobody understood what I was going through.

                In today's episode, I'm sharing three simple, practical tools that helped me prevent panic attacks before they spiraled — all backed by biblical truth. Because here's what I learned the hard way: panic attacks are the result of repeated thought patterns, and while quick tips aren't a cure, they can interrupt those anxious cycles and bring your body back to a place of calm.

                I also get real about what Scripture says about anxiety. (Spoiler: you're not the only one who's struggled — even King David and the prophet Elijah dealt with overwhelming fear.) If you've ever felt ashamed of your anxiety or wondered if God even sees what you're going through, this episode is for you.

                Grab your journal, sip some coffee, and let's talk about how to silence anxiety, quiet your mind, and feel like you again.

                • #157 | Why Knowing Bible Verses Doesn't Always Stop The Anxiousness (The 1 Thing That's Missing)

                  Hey friend, have you ever found yourself in the middle of an anxiety spiral, reaching for a scripture you've memorized a hundred times — and nothing shifts? The verse is right there on your tongue, but your heart is still racing, your mind is still spinning, and the peace you're promised feels completely out of reach?

                  I've been there too. For years I struggled with chronic anxiety, panic attacks, sleeplessness — the whole storm. And I genuinely believed that if I just knew enough Bible verses about anxiety, if I could quote them fast enough, that would be my way out. But it wasn't. Something was missing, and it took me going through my own battle with anxiety — even recently, while I was physically sick and the enemy tried to use that moment to attack my mind — for God to make it crystal clear to me.

                  If you've ever wondered why your Bible verses aren't "working" against your anxiety, this episode is going to connect the dots for you. Grab your journal, sip some coffee, and let's get into it.

                  • #156 | 5 Small Ways to Build Trust in God When Anxiety Makes It Hard

                    Hey sis, have you ever been told to "just trust God" and thought… easier said than done? Same. When anxiety is loud and life keeps throwing curveballs, trusting God can feel like the hardest thing in the world, even when you want to with everything in you.

                    I'm sharing five small, practical trust-building exercises that helped me go from "Why is God letting this happen to me?" to "I trust Him regardless." These aren't just feel-good tips — they're real steps I took to retrain my brain, strengthen my faith muscle, and actually depend on the Lord the way I wanted to.

                    If you've been wrestling with anxiety, church hurt, unanswered prayers, or just feeling like God is quiet right now, this conversation is for you. Grab your iced coffee, your journal, and let's get into it.

                      • #155 | Does Anxiety Bring You Closer to God? 3 Truths No One Talks About

                        Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I'm almost grateful for my anxiety because it brought me closer to God"? I understand exactly where that sentiment comes from, but as your anxiety coach, I have to be honest with you: that's not the full picture, and today I'm unpacking why.

                        In this episode, I'm sharing three grounding truths that completely shifted my perspective on the relationship between anxiety and faith. If you've ever wondered whether fear is the thing drawing you closer to God — or if it's something else entirely — this conversation is for you.

                        If you're a Christian woman dealing with chronic anxiety, panic attacks, or the exhausting cycle of fear-driven prayer, this episode will help you:

                        • Understand why anxiety isn't the credit-worthy force behind your spiritual growth
                        • Learn how to distinguish the enemy's lies from God's truth using Scripture
                        • Discover what it really means to walk by faith as a daily reality
                        • Get practical steps for grounding your prayer life in faith instead of fear
                        • Start building your house on the rock — one prayer, one truth, one step at a time
                        • So grab your journal, pour some coffee, and let's get into it. You're closer to freedom than you think, sis.

                          • #154 | How to Stop Missing Out on Life Because of Anxiety (2 Simple Steps)

                            I'll be honest with you — there was a time in my life when I was so consumed by anxiety that I didn't even know what I wanted anymore. Not because life wasn't giving me opportunities, but because fear had me in such a tight grip that I kept saying no to everything — to fun, to rest, to joy. Sound familiar?

                            In this episode of Get Free From Anxiety, I'm sharing something that hit me hard on my own journey to freedom: we are often missing out on our lives by choice — not because life isn't showing up for us, but because anxiety convinces us it's safer to stay still.

                            But here's the thing — God never intended for you to just survive. He intended for you to live. And I've got two steps (yes, just two, and yes, they're simple) that I believe will start moving you in that direction.

                            If you've been feeling like life is passing you by, like you're too tired, too afraid, or too overwhelmed to even try... this episode is for you. I bring in some Scripture that completely changed my perspective, and I share a little personal story that I think you'll relate to more than you expect.

                            This one's a pep talk, friend — short, sweet, and straight to the heart. Don't just listen. Go do the thing.
